My Bilsteins are installed in the rear with both boots facing down. It took all of 20 minutes to figure out that the mounting bushings can only go in one way, 15 minutes install and thinkin' WTF... Is F4-BE5-B625-HO the right stock number for a '05 rwd XE?
I even thought of pressing the bushings out and reversing them...but I had to let that go due to the fear of really jackin' that up.
Other than the upsided boots looking stupid, will durability be an issue? Could I actually be able to reverse the bushings with a press? j/k maybe?
I still have to do the fronts. Yes I have the proper tools and safety equipment.:lookaroun Anything else I should know about doing the front, like adding washers, bolts, nuts, or sacrifice a small animal to the Nissan Gods...?
Man, my first mod on my baby does not look good...
